This professor is incredible. Always bringing up some examples that might make us scratch our heads and making everything much clear.

Excellent course. Great instructor. Dives right into computer science fundamentals to fully explain the concepts. Good programming assignments. Only thing left to include concurrent design patterns .

Not a bad course, not a course for beginners in programming, so the basics are skipped, and more is told about the features of Go. Although, in my opinion, some points could have been shortened.

The last programming assignment is way harder than all others. Materials are explained well enough, at least for me.

Needs more TA and instructor interaction. Lots of outside reading required, but over all a good introduction. You really need to have decent programming skills before attempting this.
